Device	Select the device that the register uses.

Placement	Type a description of the physical location of the register in the store.
Reference	Select the store to which the register is assigned or linked. A register can be linked to only one store.

The profile can include settings for a printer, scanner, drawer, scale, display screen, key lock, keyboard, EFT, and other devices.
Visual profile	Select the visual profile. A visual profile defines a set of properties for the colors, resolution, and menus for a Retail POS screen.
Real-time Service profile	Select the Retail Transaction Service profile. The register uses the profile to connect to Application Object Server (AOS) to retrieve or update information.
Receipt setup location	Select whether the receipt layout is defined per register or per store. Terminal – A different layout can be set for each register. Store – The same layout is used for all registers in a store.
Receipt bar code	Select the check box to indicate that a bar code for the receipt number is printed at the bottom of each receipt at the POS terminal. A bar code is also printed for suspended transactions.
Register statement	Select the check box to enable terminal statements to be generated. The method that is used to generate terminal statements is defined in the store setup. However, you can define a new statement method.

Exit after each transaction	Select the check box to indicate that Retail POS logs off automatically after each transaction. This option is suitable for a highly secure environment, because cashiers must log on before they can process transactions.
